Where I'm from- Inspired by George Ella Lyon

I am from fiction,
from fantasy and heat,
I am from Shayna's coat,
(Black, white, cocoa,
she shelters me.)
I am from the swim team pool,
with icy cold waters,
which I go to every morning in summer,
and leave great memories of friendship.

I am from brownies and puppies,
with trust and laughter.
I'm from the coldness of my bed,
and all the stars of the night,
from “Go to sleep,” and “Quiet down!”

I am from Cinnamon,
and chocolate chips too,
and many sweets I love to eat.

I am from Christmas,
from Evergreen and Pine.
From my many broken bones,
healed with a cast.
From the tumor that cost Benson his life.

I am from moments,
shared with laughter and friends,
I am from daydreams,
filled with clouds and sunshine.
I am from memories,
All about me.
